Who would win in a fight?

x-jla

Here is a mature and professional thread for ya. Just for fun...

Who do you think would win in a starchitect death brawl? A hunger games type thing? I'd say Ando could probably do well.

I'd like to see Zaha vs. Frank. 

We could do a whole bracket like NCAA or pro tennis with rankings.

I like the hunger games concept better.

I think Anton Chigurh is based on Ando... so I vote him as well.

Ban would rely on elaborate booby traps made from logs.

Miles make the bracket so!!

Ando would do great, he's a boxer, right?

I hear Joshua P-R was an Olympic competitor, he'd be quick and strong.

Mies could probably drop a man with one well-placed punch.

I heard ando will kidney punch employees for errors in the office... no joke.

jean novel looks like gru from despicable me...which is kinda hard in a villan type way, but also totally weak.

renzo piano and rem koolhaas would be a good light weight match against each other, although they would both go down in 5 seconds against any heavy hitter.  

gehry would just keel over if somebody frightened him.

zaha would just eat the nearest gladiator (or two) and collapse from over-eating exhaustion.  

if we are including dead architects, we all know corbusier would go totally primitive, like a silverback gorilla running nude through the jungle.

frank lloyd wright would smack people upside the head with that cane, never loosing composure.

mies seems pretty hard in a godfather type way, but would fall short if he ever had to get his hands dirty himself.

kahn seems like a scrapper street fighter type dude...plus he has the added bonus of really dying in a train station.

Zumthor looks like he can kick some ass in a fancy European kinda way.  He may be a good match for ando.

Zaha would carry Schumacher on her back like masterblaster from mad max.

Leonardo da Vinci. If he couldn't beat you one-on-one he would design a war machine that would nail you to the wall in a heartbeat.

Mies would put his Cigar out on  the forehead of any Star Architect today, and think nothing of it.

Norman Foster used to work the doors as a bouncer as an undergrad, so it'd be between him and Ando I reckon.
